Symbol Technologies, Inc., (Holtsville, N.Y.) has introduced speech-recognition enabled versions of its MC9000 series of mobile computers. Designed for warehouse and distribution customers that require hands-free operation for speech-recognition and voice-prompted applications, the MC9060-K and MC9060-S models combine rugged hardware with partner software and accessories to offer increased productivity in industrial applications including distribution center order picking, receiving, replenishment, loading, maintenance, repair, package sorting and handling, returns processing and inspection.
Symbol’s new speech-recognition product offers customers a multi-function device to support multiple data capture functions including voice-recognition, barcode scanning, imaging and keyboard input, providing flexibility to use whichever data capture technology is most efficient to perform the task at hand. Voice recognition systems allow warehouse workers to be more productive and accurate by eliminating the need to manually enter data or read instructions.
